Re: Peekskill NY vic, BROWN-ACKER connection

Thank you for your reply.The Browns' are hard to pin down because of the many families with that name.But, I am sure you have already figured that out!Many of the men in Peekskill from the late 19th Century worked in factories that made iron stoves.It is common to see "moulder" under "profession" in the census records.If you find someone working in a profession that makes products out of iron, you might have someone with roots in the Peekskill area.
